[PATCH] configure: Set $PYTHON in the configuration of the optionroms

[PATCH] configure: Set $PYTHON in the configuration of the optionroms

[Thomas Huth]

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile uses $(PYTHON) for running a Python script,
but this variable is never initialized here. So the script gets run
via its shebang line - which fails if the "python3" binary is not
available on the system. To fix this, write the PYTHON configuration
to the config.mak file of the optionroms.
